July 11th, 2017 Top Stories --------------------------------------------------------------- The Gist

July 11th, 2017 Top Stories --------------------------------------------------------------- [While Kobach Commission Bumbles, DOJ Sends Its Own Voter Suppression Signals]( The Gist: Voting rights advocates already have a good idea of how the Trump administration, led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will seek to scale back access to the ballot with an approach that has its antecedent in the scandal-plagued Justice Department of George W. Bush. It was signaled clearly in a under-the-radar letter sent by the DOJ to most states late last month. The letter did not get as much as attention as the wide-reaching data request from the Trump election commission, but voting rights advocates told TPM they find it just as concerning, if not more so. [NYT: Donald Trump Jr. Told In Email That Russia Wanted To Help Trump Campaign]( The Gist: In an email before his meeting with a Russian lawyer, Donald Trump Jr. was told that the promised compromising information on Hillary Clinton was part of an effort by the Russian government to help Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the New York Times reported Monday night. [Lawyer Who Met Don Jr. Was Key Player In High-Profile Money Laundering Case]( The Gist: In July of 2016, Donald Trump Jr. met a 42-year-old Russian attorney named Natalia Veselnitskaya who had promised him damaging information about then-candidate Hillary Clinton. In fact, Veselnitskaya was already a key figure for the defense in one of the most notorious money-laundering scandals in recent memory, encompassing $230 million in public funds allegedly stolen from the Russians by a network of corrupt bureaucrats and routed into real estate sales, including some in Manhattan, through ironclad Swiss bank accounts. From The Reporter's Notebook --------------------------------------------------------------- The Trump administration’s response-of-choice to stories about campaign officials’ unusual contacts with Russian operatives is that they are built on fabrications from anonymous sources. That’s not the case with Donald Trump Jr.’s newly-revealed July 2016 sit-down with a Russian lawyer, [TPM’s Allegra Kirkland notes](. In his comments about the meeting, Trump Jr. explicitly said that he was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton and went to the meeting to obtain it. Agree or Disagree? --------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Marshall: "One of the biggest threats to the Trump White House is the kind of [dingbat, spy v. spy infighting and blood feuds]( we’ve observed already but likely only know the half of. In a normal White House, this might just lead to lots of bad press and lack of esprit de corps. Reagan’s White House was a bit notorious for this. But when numerous advisors, in and outside the White House, are looking at profound legal jeopardy, the stakes get a lot higher." Say What?! --------------------------------------------------------------- "Go f*** yourself.” - White House chief strategist Steve Bannon's [response]( to Fox CEO Roger Ailes' request that Breitbart ease up on its negative coverage of Megyn Kelly in 2015. BUZZING: Today in the Hive --------------------------------------------------------------- From a TPM Prime member: "A couple of decades ago when I announced to my ultra-conservative parents I had accepted a college teaching position, my mom's reaction was, "I would rather you have accepted a position as a garbage man than a college professor." As far as the current stat flipping regarding higher ed is concerned, I suspect the Trumpian injection of so many of the insane inclinations of the far right into the Republican mainstream has been a primary reason."
